'Technically"? Yes, they are oceans.
April 24, 2023 at 21:57
No, what was true changed; the truth didn't. What you are suggesting in the OP remains unclear, but... There is a difference between the nature of tru...

It's the engineers, again. Worse than christians.

Language is not just about moving ideas from head to head. Indeed, that metaphor is very problematic.
April 24, 2023 at 21:38
You are saying it wrong. Truth did not change value. The sentence"the sky is blue" was true, and now it isn't. It's the sky that changed, not "truth".

Ah, nice. You have oceans of counterexamples.

My family tree is "actual". It'll be true, or it'll be false, whether you are able to verify it or not. Truth doesn't care what you believe. or why. T...

The oceans on Titan are methane.
April 24, 2023 at 21:17
But I don't think you do. Any truth can be set out in a statement. It is the statement that is context dependent, not it's truth. Is truth always cont...

Family trees?
April 24, 2023 at 20:58
It's sentences that are true or false. What a sentence says is dependent on it's circumstances (context, language, purpose, consequence, and so on) He...

Nuh. You'd be Nobo.

I don't see why. Here's a recent photo of Sir Les: https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2021/06/19/06/44414949-9703181-image-a-10_1624079389923.jpg Looks like...

I have eggplant in the greenhouse, seedlings only. The two chooks provide the eggs. ("Chook" is Australian for chicken.)

There'll be a state funeral, no doubt. Will Sir Les Patterson give a eulogy?
April 22, 2023 at 21:58
What... No simple sentence below for effect? That's not a lunch.
April 22, 2023 at 21:53
How would you like me too... no, too trite.
April 22, 2023 at 08:44
True, too.

Yeah, figured that. Might try it.

Anchovies and feta? Tried it on Pizza, a bit too salty. But with honey... Worth a try.

I don't have an ass, nor any other form of equine. But the cat just threw up, so you are welcome to kick it.

Not sure if it's you or I whom is inviting to a barney, but it's nice to see you are educating yourself.
April 22, 2023 at 07:57
Sounds promising. Anchovies? Basil leaves? Or feta?
April 22, 2023 at 07:51
Don't take it personally. That's just me being friendly.
April 22, 2023 at 07:42
True, that. Sometimes my omelets decide they are scrambled eggs.

Rather, the origin of those criticisms of LLMs are in Searle's Chinese Room and subsequent writings, the guts of which are that LLMs cannot have inten...

Cool. Like G=df{Frank, the North Pole, electrotherapy}? A list of items? That assumes that picking out an individual is transparent; that "frank" refe...

Anyway, with the next post this thread will be of equal length to my thread.

Definitions are objects? I don't understand what that might mean. Do you mean that all definitions specify sets? But we can define lists and multisets...
